I think it is E

, and

Either an independent clause or the end of a list. In this case it is the end of the list.

And B is an example of superficial //

Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 10:56 pm Post subject:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A New York City ordinance of 1897

I think the subject is

A New York City ordinance of 1897 regulating the use of bicycles

X) mandated
Y) required
Z) and granted




E.regulating the use of bicycles mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, and granted


In this option subject is:

A New York City ordinance of 1897

and regulated and mandated are superficial???


B.regulated the use of bicycles, mandated a maximum speed of eight miles an hour, required cyclists to keep feet on pedals and hands on handlebars at all times, granting

You know this stuff better than I do master, what do you think ?

New York City ordinance of 1897 regulating the use of bicycles

now the purpose of ordinance is to regulate the use of bicycles...

now by how ???


by mandating xyg , by requiring xyg , by xydf...


think in this way...


law of 1990 regulating trafiiic rules, mandated more personals, required more security and granted more powers...

law aim is regulating traffic by what means?
